TetT Clark handbook of sacraments and sacramentality

"Introducing readers to the contemporary field of sacramental theology, this volume covers the biblical and historical foundations, a survey of the state of the discipline, and a collection of constructive essays representing major themes, practices and approaches to sacraments and sacramentality in the contemporary world. The volume starts with a set of foundational essays that offer broad introduction to the field of sacramental theology from contemporary scholars, analysing a number of historical figures in order to illumine and inform contemporary sacramental theology. The second part of the volume is dedicated to a series of essays on sacramentality, and includes attention to elements of space, time, ritual action, music, and word, all as aspects of what Christians have termed "sacramental" reality. The third set of essays includes attention to each of the seven practices that have most commonly been termed "sacraments" in Christian traditions: baptism; eucharist/Lord's Supper; confirmation; confession, forgiveness and reconciliation; marriage; ordination; and anointing. The final part of this volume features scholars who are working on sacraments in conversation with contemporary academic disciplines: critical race theory, queer theory, comparative theology, and disability studies"-- Provided by publisher Cover Half Title Series Title Copyright Contents Acknowledgments Introduction Part one Foundations CHAPTER ONE Ritual and Sacrament as Bodily Practice (Frank C.
